Sadio Mane scored a brace against Watford last Wednesday, and seems to enjoy a central role in Liverpool’s attack. He has natural goal-scoring instincts, and should be tried as a centre-forward on a regular basis. Roberto Firmino, Liverpool’s main striker, has scored 11 goals in 32 matches this season, and can hardly be relied upon to solve their goal-drought.

Therefore, Mane could probably play as the centre-forward, and Divock Origi could play as the left winger for Liverpool in some of their next matches. Origi is an exciting young player with consummate skills and pace, and should provide the Reds with a better option in attack.

It would be interesting to see whether Klopp makes any change in the attacking combination of his team in the next few matches, including the crucial one against Bayern in Munich. Time is running out for Liverpool, and the next one month would be crucial in determining how good the current season will be for them.
